This is the same Neptune costume I wore to Otakon '09 after I took a scissor to it and covered it in "dirt" (a mix of eyeshadow, bronzer, and whatever else I could dig out of my makeup bag). I think this may be the best way I've ever forcefully retired one of my costumes!

Personal Thoughts:

Episode 125 is, without question, THE best episode of Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon. It may be my favorite episode of any animated show ever, it's just filled with so many powerful, emotional moments that shake my heart every time I watch it. I wanted to make a tribute to it in some way, so I suggested to TwiliteSea that we rough up our Neptune and Uranus costumes, since mine was already starting to fall apart anyway. We had lots of good, grimy fun crawling on the floor of the Javits Center pretending we were in lesbians with each other.
